HONG KONG, GUANGZHOU and SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chinese mobility
technology and service provider OnTime (9680.HK) announced its first-half 2026 financial
results on August 19, achieving record highs in revenue, gross profit and order 
volume. The company posted a 156.3% jump in gross profit, topping RMB 500 million,
with gross margin expanding to 12.4% and net losses narrowing 45.2% year-on-year.

For the first half of 2026, OnTime generated revenue of RMB 4.035 billion, a 140.7%
increase from the same period last year. Total orders rose 150.6% to 184 million,
propelling daily orders past the one-million mark for the first time.

Beyond its core mobility services — which continued to deliver robust revenue growth—
OnTime’s technology services segment saw revenue soar 274.4%, with a gross margin
of 22.7%, reflecting strong momentum, improved profitability and a more favorable
business mix. According to company disclosures, the tech services division expanded
into embodied AI in the first half of 2026, a move expected to broaden the company’s
prospects in AI and make the segment a key driver of future growth.

**Revenue Doubles to RMB 4.035 Billion; Gross Profit Tops RMB 500 Million and Losses
Narrow 45.2%**

OnTime’s first-half revenue reached RMB 4.035 billion, with year-on-year growth 
accelerating sharply — up 79 percentage points from the same period in 2025.

The company said it has adopted AI tools and automation across its R&D and operational
workflows to improve efficiency, with the benefits of operating leverage beginning
to be reflected in its financial performance.

Gross profit surged 156.3% to RMB 501 million, outpacing revenue growth for the 
period. The company’s gross margin has improved consistently — climbing from 5.1%
for full-year 2024 to 11.7% in the first half of 2025, and further to 12.4% in the
first half of 2026. Meanwhile, net losses narrowed by 45.2% compared with a year
earlier.

**Mobility Services Orders Surge 150.6%; Robotaxi Expansion Accelerates**

Mobility services and technology services are jointly driving the company’s revenue
gains.

OnTime’s core mobility services — including both ride-hailing and Robotaxi — generated
RMB 3.92 billion in first-half revenue, up 139.5% year-on-year. Growth was fueled
by a 149.2% increase in gross transaction value to RMB 5.064 billion and a 150.6%
jump in total orders to 184 million.

Daily orders reached 1.015 million, up 150.7% year-on-year — a critical industry
milestone that places OnTime in the "million-daily-orders club," a benchmark widely
recognized as an indicator of scale in China’s ride-hailing market.

During the period, OnTime’s mobility services gross margin improved to 12.1%, driven
primarily by greater scale and operational efficiencies that lowered per-order costs.

Robotaxi, a strategic priority for OnTime, has seen significant growth since the
start of 2026. The company now operates more than 550 Robotaxi vehicles across key
areas including Guangzhou’s Nansha and Science City districts, Shenzhen’s Bao’an
and Nanshan districts, and the Hengqin Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone.

OnTime’s "Robotaxi+" industrial ecosystem continues to expand. In March, autonomous
driving developer Pony.ai deployed its next-generation Robotaxi vehicles into OnTime’s
fleet. In April, OnTime partnered with chipmaker Black Sesame Technologies to co-
develop production-ready Robotaxi solutions alongside other ecosystem partners. 
Most recently in August, OnTime’s Robotaxi services were integrated into Alipay 
and Tencent’s mobility platforms, accelerating the development of a Robotaxi service
network combining its own platform with third-party platforms.

**AI-Powered Tech Services Revenue Tops RMB 100 Million****;**** Gross Margin ****
Hit****s 22.7%**

OnTime’s technology services segment — which generates revenue primarily from AI-
driven data solutions — surpassed RMB 100 million in first-half revenue for the 
first time, up 274.4% year-on-year, making it the company’s fastest-growing business
line. The segment delivered a gross margin of 22.7%.

According to previously disclosed results, technology services revenue grew 175.8%
year-on-year in H1 2024, 207.0% in H1 2025 and 274.4% in H1 2026, demonstrating 
a clear acceleration in the segment’s growth.

OnTime began building its AI data services business in 2023, leveraging real-world
mobility scenarios captured from its ride-hailing platform to develop autonomous
driving data solutions. The company offers end-to-end data services — from raw data
collection to standardized dataset delivery — with data assets spanning perception
data, behavioral data, synthetic data and multimodal training datasets.

According to company filings, OnTime is accelerating the commercialization of its
technology services business. The filings also note that its AI data capabilities
currently serve autonomous driving data needs and are now extending into emerging
fields such as embodied AI and large model training.

In June 2026, OnTime launched a dedicated embodied AI data platform, formally expanding
its service scope into this high-growth segment. A month later, the company listed
its data assets on the Automotive Industry Trusted Data Space — a China-based data-
sharing initiative — further establishing compliant, standardized channels for the
exchange of data assets.
